Car tech is driving some motorists around the bend.

Research revealed that despite motoring tech enabling us to find routes at the touch of a button, chat to friends and family hands-free and brake without touching the pedal, a large percentage are baffled by the amount of buttons and switches

Researchers discovered 32 per cent of new car owners are flummoxed about how to operate the in-car sat nav, whilst four in 10 are clueless about their reverse sensors, climate control and heated seats.

More than half of those polled said their car is full of buttons and switches they don’t know how to use or what they’re for – and 49 per cent believe they are wasting a lot of what their car has to offer, they told pollsters for Jardine Motor Group.
